  • Looking for a novel method of birth control?  Why not wrap your testicles in polyester?  Scicurious of Neurotopia looks at the evidence in humans with her epic post “A tote for your scrote – a recepticle for your testicle“, while fellow Research Blogging editor Jason Goldman looks at animal models in  “A cup for your pup“.  If you read any blog posts this week, make it these two hilarious and informative articles!
  • All the science in the world to arrive at an evidence-based, individualized treatment isn’t that useful if parents can’t measure the correct dose“.  Science-Based Pharmacy looks at “The Science of Dosing Errors”.
  • We all know there are plenty of ways to reduce your risk of disease.  But did you know that using proper washer fluid was one of them?  On The Wards has the details in “Choice of washer fluid can cause Legionnaire’s disease“.

See you next week!

    Thanks for the plug!

    When I first read about the correlation between the type of washer fluid and Legionnaire’s disease, I just had to write about it. It was quite serendipitous a discovery for the original researchers.
